First International Conference on Computational Stochastic Mechanics, Corfu, Greece

这个项目在1991年秋天召开了一个关于计算随机力学的国际会议。会议的目标是将计算力学和随机过程这两个不同的领域结合在一起，并促进它们在不确定性和系统复杂性盛行的领域的应用。在地震工程中，许多问题都是由不确定的因素、不确定的函数或因过于复杂而无法用常规数学方法建模的材料系统所决定的。随机过程理论与先进的计算方法相结合，为解决这类问题提供了有效的途径。会议将提供一个独特的机会，就应用于随机方法的计算方法的现状交换意见，并确定未来的研究需求。

This project convenes an international conference on computational stochastic mechanics in the fall of 1991. The goal of the conference is to bring together the two distinct fields of computational mechanics and stochastic processes and to facilitate their applications in areas where uncertainty and system complexity prevail. In earthquake engineering many problems are dominated by factors which are uncertain, functions which are non deterministic, or materials systems which are too complex to model by conventional mathematical means. Stochastic processes theories when combined with advanced computational methods offer an effective approach to the solutions of such problems. The conference will provide a unique opportunity for exchanging ideas on the current status of computational methods as applied to stochastic methods and for identifying future research needs.
